The Mobile Identification Number (MIN) and Electronic Serial Number (ESN), together with CDMA spread spectrum technology, make it virtually impossible for unauthorized users to capture and decipher messages and other sensitive information.

Software

Windows OS users can choose between loading the full version of Connection Manager from the CD or the new, no CD required "lite" version. Just plug in the device, wait a few moments for the software and drivers to load, one button activation and you're ready! a) Supports Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) - this is a selectable feature in Connection Manager that works seamlessly with hibernate mode, a common feature found on most notebooks. The device will not interrupt the hibernate mode and remains ready to connect once the system "wakes up" (resumes). Also supports "auto-connect" resulting in faster connection time and intelligent data traffic routing. b) With the latest version of Connection Manager, users can take advantage of Sprint Location Services to conduct a "locate and search" inquiry. Using the GPS chipset embedded in the device, users can plot their current location on a map and then search for nearby points of interest such as gas stations, banks or restaurants. Users can also enter their own custom point of interest query. Macintosh OS users will need to follow installation procedures available on the CD-ROM included for this device.

USB - Convenient Universal Connectivity

The versatile USB design provides the customer with more connectivity options in situations where PC Card and ExpressCard slots are not available. Due to its USB form factor, the U727 supports Surprise Removal - no need to wait.
